Our Mission

To empower people with the freedom to achieve their ambitions. Through our commitment to create an alternative cloud, we provide the freedom to build, and the localization required to solve data challenges.

With over 20 years in the tech scene, OVHcloud has grown to become the leading European cloud provider. We love that the people in their 2700 workforce are valued and at the centre of everything. They express the sentiment that OVHcloud is a human adventure, so it’s no surprise that they are constantly working on improving their DEI to cultivate workplace safety, inclusion and belonging for their diverse team. Thanks to some of these actions, they’ve scored 76 in D&I actions, and excelled with a work-life balance score of 88 in our Gender Score. Now, they have set their sights on improving their inclusiveness, and providing training to engage all employees in becoming less biased.

Our Values

Trust

Trust is one of our core values. Trust allows our employees to be at their best and to express their talent. We transform our commitments into actions. We do not hesitate to call on others to achieve the goal that we cannot achieve on our own. We give everyone the chance to prove themselves and learn from their mistakes. We establish a collective trust with our customers and partners.

Working Together

Working together inspires everything we do.We strongly believe that individual success is a product of supporting collective success. We identify skills in order to allocate responsibilities. We make compromises without ever compromising ourselves. We never forget that we are part of a team whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Passion

We are passionate. We love to share our enthusiasm. We are constantly innovating, creating, discovering, learning. We surpass ourselves to get better and better. We never abandon objectives and always follow through on our goals. With our partners and customers, we are continually seeking new solutions, better solutions. We listen to them, understand them and integrate their feedback. We do our best to always do better, to always do more.

Disruption

We know when and how to change the rules, to find solutions that respond to the latest challenges. We believe that disruption must free everyone and make life easier - simplify what is complex - change the game while taking our responsibilities. We are continually seeking to simplify our processes and organization to be more effective and reduce costs. We do not hesitate to be inventive to find our own path.  But, in all circumstances, we remain disciplined in our execution. In everything we do, we strive to create more value for our customers.

Responsibility

We assume responsibility together. We know that each innovation can be positive or negative according to how it’s used. We know the impact of our actions and therefore face our social and societal responsibility head-on. We accept no trade-off or compromise regarding the protection of customer data. We strive to act ethically in all circumstances; to create value for ourselves, our partners and our customers. We make people and their sovereignty the priority. We want Innovation for Freedom.
